Goutama - RE: "SPITFIRE Brand name is DURON!!!"

Ugh, I guess I'll get used to the name EVENTUALLY. ;)

The logo looks neat. amd.com

From FAQ -

"Question:
What product features does the AMD Duron processor include?

Answer:
The AMD Duron processor is derived from the AMD Athlon processor core and features full-speed, on-chip cache memory, a 200MHz front side system bus, and enhanced 3DNow!? technology. AMD plans to begin shipping AMD Duron processors in June."

Spitfire, err, Duron (fs) bus speed = 200MHz
Celeron bus speed = 66MHz
